2013 Mozambique Lugenda Wilderness Camp

The Lugenda Wilderness Camp is located in the Niassa Reserve, covering parts of Cabo Delgado Province and nearly 1/3 of Northern Mozambique. The Reserve is an untouched and undiscovered 42,000 km expanse of wilderness. The Niassa National Reserve is Mozambique's most important protected area, harboring the country's largest population of wildlife, including 70% of Mozambuque's Mozambique's elephants. Just last year the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) signed on for co-management of the Reserve. WCS's overall goal is to mutually and sustainably conserve the biodiversity of the Reserve and enhance the social and economic well-being of resident communities. Their core strategy focuses on strengthening law enforcement to tackle elephant poaching and illegal logging.
